I’ve heard of Groupon years ago and I started to purchase some of their restaurant deals on a regular basis because the deals are enticing to try new places; I even bought these movie tickets from Groupon at half off. The concept of having a deal based on the purchasing power, made it a win-win situation to the consumer and the business.<\/span><\/h3>\n
\"Do<\/a>
Do You Groupon?<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

However, I’m starting to steer away from buying Groupon deals on dining out because I usually have had bad experiences being a Groupon customer. I remember one time, I brought a deal to one of their restaurant, where I was a previous customer and thought they had good service. Although, I was expecting the same service, I had a rush service where they wanted you in and out. At first I thought maybe I was coming at a busy time, but that shouldn’t be an excuse and then I thought maybe it was that particular place, but my other friend had the same experience with most of their deals they bought.<\/span><\/h3>\n
\"See<\/a>
See Any Good Deals?<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

So, I’m at a point where I don’t know if business owners treat discounted customers differently or Groupon are affiliated with businesses that can’t handle the volume. You guys feel me?\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n
